DAYS GONE BY....

The Crow Creek road was the link between the Mornom settlements of Bear Lake and Star Valley of 50 years. The 100 mile round trip between Afton, Wy. and the railhead at Montpelier, Id would take a team of horses form 3 to 7 days depending on the conditions along the way. Road ranches were set up to help provide for the needs of the freighters and their animals no matter the weather. The Halfway House located right in the middle was considered one of the best stations along they way.

In 1912, the property was able to house 32 teams and their drivers. This was a haven for freighters, the mail wagon and the daily stage couch where travlers could stop for dinner and an change of horses.

Life at the Halfway Huse for the Wilkes family ended in 1925 when the state highway pulled
